The Newsroom - The Newsroom (Canadian TV series) - Netflix

The Newsroom is a Canadian television comedy-drama series which ran on
CBC Television in the 1996–97, 2003–04 and 2004–05 seasons. A two-hour
television movie, Escape from the Newsroom, was broadcast in 2002. The
show is set in the newsroom of a television station which is never
officially named, but is generally understood to be based on CBC's own
Toronto affiliate CBLT. Inspired by American series The Larry Sanders
Show and similar to such earlier series as the British Drop the Dead
Donkey and the Australian Frontline, the series mined a dark vein of
comedy from the political machinations and the sheer incompetence of the
people involved in producing the fictional City Hour, the station's
nightly newscast.
